A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels (2015)
Journal Article
Zahran, D. I., Al-Nuaim, H. A., Rutter, M. J., & Benyon, D. (2015). A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels. Electronic Journal of e-Government, 13, 28-42

The importance of e-government models lies in their offering a basis to measure and guide e-government. There is still no agreement on how to assess a government online. Most of the e-government models are not based on research, nor are they validate... Read More about A critical analysis of e-government evaluation models at national and local municipal levels.

Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, S., Berg, T., & Smith, C. (2015). Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs. In Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2015. 32614 2015. IEEE (1-6). https://doi.org/10.1109/fie.2015.7344173

Engineering and computing at university both have a long tradition of co-operative education which plays a vital role in developing students' applied skills and giving confidence to both students and potential employers. Co-op education refers to rel... Read More about Making co-op work: An exploration of student attitudes to co-op programs.

Evaluation of TFTP DDoS amplification attack (2015)
Journal Article
Sieklik, B., Macfarlane, R., & Buchanan, W. J. (2016). Evaluation of TFTP DDoS amplification attack. Computers and Security, 57, 67-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2015.09.006

Web threats are becoming a major issue for both governments and companies. Generally, web threats increased as much as 600% during last year (WebSense, 2013). This appears to be a significant issue, since many major businesses seem to provide these s... Read More about Evaluation of TFTP DDoS amplification attack.

Maths and Mobile Technologies: Student Attitudes and Perceptions (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fabian, K. (2015). Maths and Mobile Technologies: Student Attitudes and Perceptions. In Proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Elearning (696)

Approaches that advocate the contextualized teaching of mathematics have been around for years but the ubiquity of mobile devices together with the potential to bridge classroom learning to real-world has added a new angle to contextualizing mathemat...

Many times in the past, critical infrastructures like e-health and e-government services have become a target of cyber-attacks resulting to manipulation of sensitive information. Meanwhile, there are several approaches applying security and privacy p... Read More about Towards an augmented authenticator in the Cloud.

Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wells, S., Yuan, T., Manandhar, S., & Kelly, T. (2015, October). Automatically Detecting Fallacies in System Safety Arguments. Paper presented at 15th International Workshop on Computational Models of Natural Argument(CMNA15), Bertinoro, Italy

Safety cases play a significant role in the development of safety-critical systems. The key components in a safety case are safety arguments, that are designated to demonstrate that the system is acceptably safe. Inappropriate reasoning with safety a...

The limits of pretending (2015)
Journal Article
Turner, P., Hetherington, R., Turner, S., & Kosek, M. (2015). The limits of pretending. Digital Creativity, 26(3-4), 304-317. https://doi.org/10.1080/14626268.2015.1091778

We propose that pretending is a cognitive faculty which enables us to create and immerse ourselves in possible worlds. These worlds range from the veridical to the fantastic and are frequently realised as stories varying from the fictional to the sci... Read More about The limits of pretending.
